Newquay Holidays: Things To See and Do When You Visit Newquay

Of all the parts of Cornwall that many tourists from around the world flock to, Newquay is one of the most popular of them all. There are ten different beaches in the town but there are lots of other things to keep you occupied on your holiday in Newquay.

Surfers from all corners of the world come to Newquay and there is an annual surfing competition that takes place in the town. Because of this during the summer months especially the town offers a wealth of attractions and great nightlife as well. But, along with its role as a surfers haven the town is also a popular family destination. And during the summer months the towns' population nearly goes up by 400%.

Newquay's climate is milder than most of the rest of Britain during the summer the weather is usually quite warm with very little chance of rain occurring. Whilst the winters are cool rather than cold. So because of this Newquay can be the ideal spot to visit at any time of year, just remember to bring some warm clothing if visit during the winter or spring months.

Years ago, the town was a busy port (although not as large as rivals Plymouth or Portsmouth), but now it has become a hot spot for tourists instead. Certainly if you are looking to come and stay in Newquay whether for a few days or a week then booking accommodation well in advance in advisable.

That said, if you're prefer to miss the crowds and have a peaceful stay in the town then a good time is during April and May. The weather in these months is reasonable and it's normally quite warm (but not baking hot) then. But the great thing about visiting Newquay at this time is that you will find that you have many of the beaches to yourself.

If you're not part of the beach and surfing crowd, there are plenty of other things for one to do and see. Certainly if you are holidaying in Newquay then visits to Newquay Zoo and the Blue Reef Aquarium are a must. And if surfing seems too energetic, why not hire a body board instead?

When it comes to where to stay in Newquay, you've got a wide choice of places to stay. You can stay in a hotel in Newquay or if you want to get a little more feel for the kinds of lives that the locals lead then staying in one of the family run guesthouses or B&B's is a far better option for you. Plus the costs are somewhat considerably less than those of the hotels also.
